Galco Holsters

Galco International was founded by Richard N. Gallagher in 1969 as a small family business in Chicago, Illinois. Known then as “The Original Jackass Leather Company,” Gallagher specialized in holsters constructed of horsehide.

Galco HolstersIn 1980 the name of the company was changed to Galco International, and in 1983 the business was moved from Chicago to its present home in Phoenix, Arizona.  Galco Holsters. Already famous for high quality and innovative designs, Galco gained worldwide notoriety when the Jackass shoulder system became a “recurring character” on the popular 1980’s TV series Miami Vice. In the new century, Galco continues to be a favorite choice of Hollywood, appearing in more films and TV shows than any other holster maker.

The Beginnings of Leupold & Stevens, Inc.

lp53532-2

In the world of telescopic sights, Leupold is one of the most known and trusted names. Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is also responsible for manufacturing items such as spotting scopes, red dot sights, and binoculars. They are located in Beaverton, Oregon, and they were founded in 1907. In business for an impressive amount of years, the company has always been family owned, and as such, it has been passed on through five generations.

The overarching company was founded by Markus Friedrich Leupold along with Adam Voelpel, his brother-in-law. Their initial focus was survey equipment, but they moved to scopes after Leupold was hunting, and he missed a deer when his scope fogged up. While they remain well known for these scopes, they are also particularly known for their Leupold binoculars. Primarily used for sport hunting, these binoculars are widely considered one of the most reliable.

Nikon Rifle Scopes

Nikon Rifle ScopesChoosing the right riflescope is as important as choosing the right rifle – many experts agree that it can be even more critical to the success of a hunt. The fact that most rifles today no longer come equipped with iron sights is testament alone to the need for a telescopic sight, but it is the quality of the sight that can make the difference between getting your riflescope’s crosshairs on a trophy or going home empty handed.

Nikon has a large selection of highly rugged, Nikon Rifles Scopes, shotgun scopes, muzzleloading rifle scopes, turkey scopes, handgun scopes and other specialty optical sights, including dot sights. From the flagship Nikon Monarch Riflescope line and its Monarch Gold Riflescope and Monarch X Scope 30mm tube variations with light transmission pushed to an incredible 95% – to the Buckmasters riflescopes, Omega and SlugHunter lines with 92% – and the ProStaff and Team Realtree scopes with 90% light transmission – Nikon has made optical performance its trademark and has turned riflescope optical design into an art form. All Nikon riflescopes are backed by the Nikon Lifetime Full Warranty.

Spotting the Deer Is Half the Battle

bushnell-binoculars

Growing up in the rural Midwest, hunting has always been a huge part of my life. Now that October is here, I’m already seeing visions of venison steaks dancing in my dreams. It seems like decades ago when I would get jittery about a deer wandering into range. That phenomenon, known as buck fever, doesn’t come into play anymore. As a seasoned hunter, I’m ready and willing to gun down every whitetail deer in sight.

These days, the problem isn’t so much shooting the deer as it is finding them in the first place. The always pack a set of Bushnell binoculars so that I can spy a buck or a doe before they notice me. Then I circle around until I’m downwind, which keeps them from smelling me and running away. Then it’s time to seal the deal. Maybe this year I’ll bag that eight-point buck that’s always eluded me.

Texas Gun Clubs

Texas Gun ClubsFind out about Texas Gun Clubs

There is a need for State and Regional organizations, but many of these are for political purposes and not for a hands on application educating and increasing our (Responsible Gun Owners) numbers. Any NRA Certified instructor may post training classes on our forums and we hope that eventually there will be more gun clubs organizing Rally Points around the Country.

We also realize that many gun clubs do not have the money or the man power to maintain websites and to get the word out about what is going on there. It is also very difficult to try and locate where gun clubs are. We realize this may take several months or years to get the word out about TRP.org, and we ask that our membership help us do this. The firing line is where teaching the next generation occurs and TRP.org wants to be the conduit on the internet to get this done.
